Class struggle is not a memory of the past
The class struggle is returning with force again. From the periphery to the heart of imperialism. Faced with defeatism and the idea that capitalism is invincible, reality shows the opposite.

We need to be prepared to give it our own political orientation, so that this force from below is not diverted or domesticated by the current reformist projects. For a 2026 full of class struggle.
